<p>Hi, I'd be interested in contributing to Rust.  I've looked at the rustc-dev-guide, but I'm struggling a bit to choose a suitable bug to work on.  Would <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87368">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87368</a> or <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87482">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87482</a> be appropriate for a beginner?  I've tried looking at the T-mentor and T-easy issues, but most of those seem to already be assigned or are very old</p>

<p>If you would like to work on those, go ahead ! You can ask questions here if you’re stuck.</p>
<p>If you want something simpler, documentation issues are a great way to get used to navigating the code and discovering where everything is, but it’s not very glamorous so I can understand if that not very appealing</p>
<p>You can also look at issues about rustdoc, it’s simpler to understand than rustc (though <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="232545">@Joshua Nelson</span> may disagree <span aria-label="stuck out tongue" class="emoji emoji-1f61b" role="img" title="stuck out tongue">:stuck_out_tongue:</span>)</p>

<p>I would describe it as "smaller but more complicated"</p>

<p>It's easier to find the code that's broken and harder to understand why it's wrong</p>

<p>Thanks, that's good to know ^^<br>
Would a documentation issue be something like this?  <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87238">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87238</a><br>
That does look more doable, I think I'll start with that and then look at one of those other two</p>
